Chapter 75 - Unexpected    



Chapter 75: Unexpected

“???!!!”

Bai Wushang had been casually scanning the screen, trying to guess the true reason for the Cat Demon’s strength.

But when Bai Wushang saw the ‘Status’ column, his heart almost stopped in shock!

Holding breath????

On the verge of death???

In an instant, Bai Wushang’s mind went blank. He felt a chill run down his spine.

His adrenaline surged. He subconsciously leaned back.

“Swoosh –”

A fishy wind blew in his face. A hooked claw slashed from left to right in front of him like lightning.

All of this happened in a short half a second!

Bai Wushang only realized it later. After dodging the claw, his heart began to beat wildly, and his clothes were soaked in sweat.

“That was… that was close!”

“The Cat Demon didn’t die?!!!”

The one who suddenly attacked was the Cat Demon that jumped up from the ground!

The claw missed and disbelief appeared on its face.

Its scarlet eyes were as dark as snakes, and its messy hair was stained with blood. Its legs were bent, and it couldn’t stand upright. Its entire body was trembling.

Bai Wushang felt a chill run down his spine.

If it were not for his Eye of Perception which enabled him to see through the Cat Demon’s true state, his head would have been split off by now and he would have died a horrible death!

“This is too sinister… it even knows how to ‘hold its breath’ and play dead? Then why didn’t it escape when no one was around just now? Was it waiting to kill me?” Bai Wushang was both shocked and angry.

“Roar!”

Ah Zhou roared. It was following closely beside Bai Wushang and similarly didn’t notice that the Cat Demon was feigning death.

Almost at the same time, the Demon Ape reached out and grabbed Bai Wushang, pulling him back a distance before standing in front of him.

Almost!

Master was almost killed!

It didn’t react in time, it was too negligent!

Ah Zhou forcefully suppressed the feeling of weakness, its anger spread throughout its body and its eyes were filled with killing intent.

It was about to rush up and fight the Cat Demon!

However, the Cat Demon laughed bitterly and fell to the ground. Its body became stiff bit by bit and its eyes lost all their vigor.

Ah Zhou was slightly startled, but it did not let down its guard.

Dark light gathered from its mouth and shot out a black light ball, hitting the Cat Demon’s head.

With a soft pop, the dense darkness filled the air, completely enveloping the Cat Demon.

Five to six seconds later, the dark elemental fluctuations in the air slowly disappeared. The Cat Demon that was exposed to the air remained motionless, without any reaction.

Bai Wushang came back to his senses and revealed a complicated expression. “It’s dead…”

Hearing this, Ah Zhou strode forward and picked up the Cat Demon’s body. It scanned it from head to toe, repeatedly confirming the authenticity of its death.

After confirming its death, it resisted the urge to smash the Cat Demon’s face with its fist and snorted heavily. It pinched the Cat Demon’s neck with its thumb and forcefully threw it to the ground as if it was still angry.

Bai Wushang frowned and carefully analyzed the attribute panel.

“Could it be that the spiritual shock wave did indeed shatter the Cat Demon’s soul and put it in a state of near-death?”

“It was unable to reverse the result of its death, but it was unwilling to accept it. It harbored intense resentment in its heart, so it used ‘Holding Breath’ to prolong its life and pretend to be dead, hoping to drag someone down with it?”

“Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense. If it was still alive, the Cat Demon would have been able to escape completely. However, it finally fell with a single swipe of its paw. It seemed to be able to corroborate my point of view from the side…”

After thinking about it, Bai Wushang set the tone for this matter.

If the Cat Demon could be resurrected now, it would tell him that this was the truth of the matter!

The Cat Demon that had been swept by the Storm of Pain earlier was already extremely exhausted and severely injured. Under this double negative state, its spirit was shattered.

It was in pain! It was furious! It was jealous! It was in despair!

It was certain that it was going to die. It was just a matter of time.

The Cat Demon was naturally vengeful and was very, very unwilling to accept it.

It was with this resentment that it forced itself to lie low and pretend to be dead, forcefully delaying the time of death for a short while.

In the end, it waited for Bai Wushang!

However, the Cat Demon never expected that the claw that it had tried its best to kill before it died would miss!

With endless shame and resentment, the Cat Demon returned to its eternal slumber.

“Speaking of which, I finally know why this Cat Demon is so powerful. So it’s an ‘excellent species’…” Bai Wushang suddenly realized.

“This means that when it’s in its youth form, the ‘Claw Meow’ stage, its bloodline quality is not the normal Mortal Bone level 4-star, but the Mortal Bone level 5-star. When it evolves, it will trigger a forced break, and it will leap to Elite level 1-star…”

Bai Wushang immediately understood. Comparing Elite level 1-star and Mortal Bone level 9-star, although there seemed to be only a difference of one star, due to the difference in levels, it was equivalent to two stars.

According to the theory of ‘two stars surpassing one level’, this Cat Demon was equivalent to Mortal Bone level 9-star and the middle stage mature form’s combat strength. No wonder the Iron Bone Eagle and Sound Sleeping Bear combined could not defeat it!

Bai Wushang walked forward and stood beside the corpse of the Cat Demon.

He took out his dagger and was about to crouch down to dissect it.

In that split second, a hair-raising sound was heard!

The sound was as fast as lightning. Bai Wushang felt a bright light flash past his peripheral vision. It was resplendent.

“Pu –”

It was like the sound of a watermelon being pierced.

Bai Wushang suddenly turned around, only to see a fluffy blood mist flying all over the sky.

He was stunned.

Immediately after, his shoulders could not stop trembling.

His mouth was half-open, his tongue was numb and all the blood in his body was flowing in reverse.

It was an indescribable psychological experience. Bai Wushang suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs,

–“Ah Zhou!!!”

In his eyes, the Demon Ape was only one to two meters away from him.

Originally, it was standing on all fours and quietly following by its side.

But at this moment, a crystal clear sharp weapon that was as thick as an arm pierced through its head from the back to the front!

Ah Zhou’s eyes reflected a puzzled look.

It grunted and wanted to stand up and turn around to take a look.

A layer of crystal lustre, starting from the bloody hole between the eyebrows, slowly spread to the whole body.

Ah Zhou’s body suddenly froze. It could not control its body as it rolled on the ground. The speed of its chest rising and falling became slower and slower.

When Bai Wushang saw this scene, his heart almost exploded.

His eyes were about to split open. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly realized that someone had touched his waist. At the same time, he felt a chill in his neck.

“Don’t move. My dagger is very sharp.”

A burst of frivolous laughter sounded.

A ghostly figure appeared in front of Bai Wushang without any warning.

It was as if he was branded in the void. The outline of his body slowly emerged from the state of absolute transparency. Then, it gradually became colored.

Finally, his true appearance was revealed in Bai Wushang’s field of vision.

He was dressed in black. His shoulders were wide and his body was long. His muscles were well-proportioned and full. There was not a single bit of fat on his body.

He was very handsome. His thick eyebrows, high nose and beautiful lips all exuded elegance and class.

Only his pair of dark blue eyes were cold and aloof. There was also a hint of profound mischief in them.

He stared straight at Bai Wushang’s face as if he was sizing up his prey. He could not help but laugh wantonly.

“Hahaha, that’s right, that’s right. It’s this expression. Extreme pain, extreme shock. I’m very satisfied!”

Bai Wushang’s eyes were spitting fire. He enunciated each word clearly. “Si! Tu! Chi!”
